SQGE=soil quality guideline for environmental health;SQGHH=soil quality guideline for human health;NC=not calculated.
Data are sufficient and adequate to only calculate a Soil Quality Guideline for Human Health (SQGHH), and not a Soil Quality Guideline for Environmental Health (SQGE). Therefore the recommended soil quality guideline is set as the SQGHH and represents a de novo guideline for this land use, derived in accordance with the soil protocol (CCME 2006).
